Which Pottery Barn Crib Conversion Kit Do You Need?
The right Pottery Barn crib conversion kit depends on your exact crib model and the bed size you want. Check the model’s manual or contact Pottery Barn before buying, because the products here do not confirm compatibility with Pottery Barn cribs.

The right Pottery Barn crib conversion kit depends on your crib’s exact model and the bed size you want next. Check the model manual or confirm compatibility with Pottery Barn before ordering, since a kit that fits another brand may not fit your crib.
First identify whether you need a toddler bed rail or rails for a larger bed. Those are different transitions, and a crib’s model name and conversion instructions determine which parts fit.
How do you choose a Pottery Barn crib conversion kit?
Choose a kit only after matching the crib model and intended bed size to the manufacturer’s conversion instructions. A similar appearance or a kit made for another crib brand is not enough to confirm fit.
Find the model name and number on the crib label, paperwork or manual. Then check the manual for the approved conversion parts and the order of assembly.
If the manual is missing, ask Pottery Barn to identify the approved kit using the crib’s model information. You can also compare the available options in our guide to the best crib conversion kit, but verify compatibility for your specific crib before you buy.
What type of bed are you converting the crib into?
Choose between a toddler bed and a larger bed based on the conversion path approved for your crib. A toddler rail and a twin or full-size bed rail serve different purposes.
A toddler conversion typically keeps the crib mattress in place and changes the side configuration. A twin or full-size conversion uses different rails and requires a mattress sized for the new bed.
Do not assume a kit’s name means it fits every crib or supports every bed size. Check the manual’s parts list and instructions for your specific model.
Is a DaVinci toddler kit right for a Pottery Barn crib?
The DaVinci Toddler Bed Conversion Kit is described for converting a full-sized classic crib into a toddler bed. Its product information does not confirm compatibility with Pottery Barn cribs, so use it only if Pottery Barn confirms the exact model is supported.
Before choosing a toddler rail, check which original crib parts must be removed or kept, how the rail attaches, and whether your crib mattress remains in use. Follow the instructions for the crib and the approved conversion kit.
If you have a different crib brand, see our best Storkcraft crib conversion kit guide for model-specific information.
Do you need rails for a twin or full-size bed?
A twin or full-size conversion requires rails approved for the crib and the intended bed setup. The DaVinci Hidden Hardware Twin/Full-Size Bed Conversion Kit is described for select brands and models, not Pottery Barn.
This kit’s product information says it works with select Babyletto, Babymod, Carter’s by DaVinci, DaVinci and Million Dollar Baby Classic cribs. It does not name Pottery Barn.
The twin or full-size mattress and box spring are sold separately.
Ask Pottery Barn whether your crib supports a twin or full-size conversion, which rail kit it needs, and what other bed components are required. The best crib-to-toddler-bed conversion kits guide covers a different transition, so use it only if you are considering a toddler bed.
Is a crib rail guard the same as a conversion kit?
A rail guard is not a substitute for crib conversion rails. The Regalo Safety Swing Down Crib Rail is described as a crib rail for toddlers, not as a Pottery Barn conversion kit.
Regalo describes its rail as designed for cribs and says it has a reinforced anchor system and a gap guard. Those features do not guarantee compatibility with a particular Pottery Barn crib or replace the crib maker’s conversion instructions.
For a brand-specific rail question, see which toddler rail fits a Graco Hadley crib. Confirm any rail’s fit and use instructions for your crib before installing it.
What should you check before ordering?
Confirm the model, conversion type and required parts before ordering. These checks help prevent buying a rail set intended for a different crib or bed size.
- Find the exact crib model name and number.
- Check the manual for approved conversion kits and the bed size each supports.
- Confirm whether the kit includes all required rails and fasteners.
- Check whether the new bed needs a separate mattress, box spring or other parts.
- Follow the assembly and use instructions for the crib and conversion kit.
Do not modify rails or use parts that are not approved for your crib model. If you cannot confirm fit from the manual, ask Pottery Barn before assembling the converted bed.
Which Pottery Barn crib conversion kit should you choose?
Choose the kit Pottery Barn approves for your exact crib model and intended bed size. Pick toddler rails only when the manual specifies a toddler-bed conversion, and use twin or full-size rails only when the crib supports that bed configuration.
The DaVinci products here describe conversions for select crib types, but their information does not confirm Pottery Barn compatibility. Treat the Regalo rail as a separate crib rail guard, not as conversion hardware.
For another crib brand, compare our best crib conversion kit guide and confirm the fit with the crib maker before ordering.
